No frills accommodations! Budget camping ideal for 2 backpackers. The 22-foot sailboat is tiny, cute & all yours. It's moored in a shallow channel, 4-5 miles (driving) from Old Town/Duval St. Access to shore is via 5 minute kayak - free to use.

This is primitive CAMPING on a boat and is not in a marina, but a shallow channel you must kayak to. This boat name is the Mangrove Ninja! Your stay includes unlimited use of kayaks which you need to get to the boat.
This is the best value in Key West! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING (I know it's long) before inquiring to stay.
Here are some KEY POINTS:
1. Primitive "camping" on a sailboat means no electricity or running water but solar shower (you fill with the jugs of water we provide), battery fans, and a porto potty is available.
2. Around 4 to 5 miles to Duval/old town by car. We have FREE PARKING
3. Not in a Marina. You need to kayak to the boat. Unlike other boat listings that require you to call and arrange transportation to the boat, the kayaks are available 24/7 so you can come and go as you please.
4. Three-night minimum during winter, Two during summer. No pets. Please don't message me asking for one night. We keep prices low this way.
5. Ideal for people who like nature and outdoors.
6. Small space ideal for two people.
7. We cannot do night check ins. It is difficult in the dark to show you around. A note about driving from Miami. It does not take 3.5 hours during winter. Don't listen to g00gle. Average time is 4 to 5 hours, depending on stops/traffic. Summer there is less traffic. Please keep this in mind when determining arrival times and let us know if anything changes. We usually let you choose a time that works and will meet you at the meeting point.
8. During high winds kayaking can be a little challenging. During calm weather the channel is an easy paddle, but we can't predict the weather. You should be in relatively good shape.
**We also have a second, "neighbor boat" nearby so groups of friends can rent both and each have their own space if they want.****
Still interested? Please read everything before sending an inquiry. A lot of questions are answered. ....BoatCamping D0T 0rg.
This is a very small sailboat secured to a storm mooring for your safety, additionally in a shallow area for your protection. It is in a channel; not the open ocean so rocking is reduced. Keep in mind that high-winded storms will still rock any boat on the water, so if you are prone to sea sickness don't book this. Access to the ship is done via KAYAK. You cannot just step on and off of the dock because there is no dock on the water, but a short kayak away is land.
This space is basically an unusual and peaceful place to lay your head and live like a pirate (practically camping). There is no air conditioning so you'll need to leave the hatches open while on board but we do provide fans. The ceilings are low - you won't be able to stand up. We provide locks for the kayak and sailboat to protect your belongings while you explore the local scene.
Free Parking is at the convenience store (we have one space reserved). You need a car for this type of accommodation so you can leave large bags in the car. Anything you bring must travel over water by kayak...keep that in mind when packing.
Please choose a check time between 2pm and 6:30pm. We do not do night check ins. I can occasionally arrange for earlier check ins if no one is checking out that day.
I will emphasize that this is for adventurous, budget travelers used to crashing just about anywhere and who are fit enough to kayak (about 5 to 10 minutes). You can throw a rock and hit the shore, and Duval Street is less than five miles drive (by car). Parking is a side street and a bus stop is right near the boat.
THINK: primitive camping on a boat. The rental is for sleeping, not sailing. At this time, we do not have a way to cook on the boat (we are working on it). We do have a small cooler for snacks/drinks.
Catch the sun slip below the horizon, watch egrets and other birds soar by, and gaze up at the stars. Open the top hatch above your head and fall asleep to a breeze and stare up into the night sky. See the fish jump and listen to the sounds of nature. Some guests have even seen dolphins and manatee while exploring the area around the ship.
On a rare occasion, you may see bio-luminescence in the water.
It is an experience in its own but you must be OK with basic camping amenities. There is no bathroom just a portable potty and solar-bag shower, however the mattress is an INSANELY comfortable 6 inch foam.
We provide:
* Three small fans
*Bottled water
*A small cooler (can hold a few drinks or sandwiches)
*2 battery tap lights (please turn off when not in use) but we do recommend bringing ADDITIONAL flashlights (headlamps we find are the best).
*Bed linens - fresh sheets for the 6-inch mattress, blankets, pillowcases
*Bath towels and clothespins to hang them
*Cedar bug spray (but you may want to bring your own. The bugs aren't an issue during the day, and although they aren't terrible at night, during dusk (the hour during/after sunset) the mosquitoes WILL be out and you'll definitely want some).
*Shampoo/Conditioner/soap
*Solar ...

The boat is located about five miles from Old Town in Key West about a 5 to 10 minute kayak offshore in 3 feet of shallow water. There is a convenience store for supplies and the airport is less than a mile away. Otherwise the neighborhood is mostly residential.
There is a cool little local bar that you can kayak to which also offers bike rentals for $15 a day.
There are a lot of fun mangroves and shallow areas to explore via kayak nearby. If you are a strong paddler it is possible to kayak to the beach; however it is a couple miles away.
Having a car is your best bet. There is a bus stop next to the convenience store that goes to Old Town (5 miles). Buses are $2 one way. See Key West Transit website for bus times. The schedule runs about every hour with the last bus departing for Old Town around 8pm. Cabs from Duval Street will cost around $20, airport will be around $7.
Bike rentals nearby are $15 a day.
NOTE: Lock it up! It's highly recommended by every local boater, moored or anchored on the water, to never leave the boat unlocked while unattended.
Getting into the boat involves hoisting yourself up on the ladder from a kayak that is in the water and climbing over. It can be a little tricky. Please keep in mind your own physical limitations and ability. Additionally, the kayaks are designed for average-sized individuals.
3-Night minimum in winter, 2 in summer; no exceptions. This helps us keeps rates low. We are charging a deposit for the use of kayak and to ensure the boat remains in the condition it was before. Assuming you respect the boat and don't lose the kayak, you'll easily get it back. Kayaks are not cheap!!!
A boat is not the same as a hotel. You should NOT book this accommodation if:
*You are very prone to seasickness. Although it is in a protected cove to minimize rocking, wind or other boats going by can cause motion.
*You don't like boats, kayaking or are scared of the water or can't swim. I know this goes without saying, but yet it still happens.
*You need creature comforts like flushing toilets and running water. (We do have jugs of water, porto potty and solar shower onboard).
*You can't handle heat at all. Keep in mind that the Keys are hot and humid from June through October/November. It starts to cool down in November- April/May. Being on the water will create a breeze, but if you are a "winter person," you might want to go the traditional route of a hotel.
*If you can't handle small spaces or are large or very tall.
*If you have mobility issues or cannot kayak. If it is your first time, assuming you are in relatively good shape you should be able to figure out the kayak. If you have any type of injury to hands, feet, etc... this isn't a good option.
FOR THOSE STAYING ON OTHER BOATS IN THE KEYS BEFORE/OR AFTER YOUR STAY WITH US: Please be aware there have been issues with other Airbnb hosts who transport guests back and forth to their boats. Reports have come in from guests who claimed that they were stranded on boats for up to 8 hours because the host did not show up or did not answer the phone to come get them. This is not only inconvenient, but it is not safe, and we urge you to read full reviews before considering a boat that requires arranging shore transport.
As a reminder, you have FULL access to our kayaks 24/7 and can come and go as you like.

Zappa is a great guy. He was very accommodating n will go out of his way in order to make sure that you have a good staying. The Mangrove is just as described on the ad, so make sure you read it. Make sure you bring headlights and portable battery charger. Your stuff will get wet so you will need waterproof cases and bags. This is perfect for nature lovers... lots of fun exploring the area on kayaks... fishes, sea creatures n birds everywhere. On our last night in the Keys we had dinner with Zappa at The Hogfish. Don't forget to check it out! Really nice place with great food. I would definitely recommend staying there(URL HIDDEN)

JeffersonMarch 2016

Our stay on the boat was amazing. Everything was as described and Amber and Zappa were great hosts providing everything we needed. We enjoyed kayaking, watching great sunsets and watching the stars from the comfy bed. We totally recommend it.

MarionNovember 2015

Zappa was incredibly friendly and the boat was exactly as advertised. If you're looking for a peaceful time out of the way this is a great way to go. Be prepared for a camping-like experience. They really went out of their way to make you feel at home!

RhettSeptember 2015

It is an awesome experience if you want to be immersed with nature and want a quiet time away from reality. The best part is the sunset, and seeing so many stars in the sky, there was also bioluminescence that we had never seen before. We also paddled our kayaks to a restaurant and got to see a manatee for the 1st time. We met with Amber she is awesome, very attentive, she gave us a lot of valuable information regarding the local spots we should visit and a map to kayak through mangroves. The listing is as it says "camping style" there is no electricity on the sailboat so I would suggest a portable battery charger in case of an emergency. We had an amazing time and it is a very unique experience to sleep on the sailboat. P.S. my friend snores so at night (when it was quiet and still) that is all I heard, there is no place to escape next time I know to bring ear plugs.

CamilleOctober 2015

The Mangrove ninja was awesome. Everything was described very accurately. They have parking if you drive there, so that makes it great as there is no free parking anywhere in Key West. Amber was a great host and she was very nice and always willing trnd to us. Again, everything is described accurately, specifically the bed. Although it is big enough for most people, if you are tall (6ft) or over 200 pounds it might be a little too much of a squeeze for a couple. The only other drawback is the Privacy curtains. They don't provide much privacy at all so I would recommend using the shower bag and the toilet at night. The Kayaks are actually really cool as they glide through the water really fast and the mangroves around the boat are awesome. Ther's lots of wildlife in the mangrove and there are a couple bars that you can kayak to really easily to. The hosts were super nice and everything is very accurately listed on the description. If you are into what is essentially primitive camping and the cool beachy culture of Key West this listing is for you.

Christopher and JoscelynAugust 2016

Zappa and Amber were the most welcoming hosts! Zappa really took the time to show us around when we first took the kayaks out to the sailboat. He showed us where the nurse sharks like to hang out and showed us the ins and outs of the boat. The experience was definitely for those who like camping. If you can't handle not having air conditioning while you sleep, don't go this route:) We went at the end of May, so it was warm at night, but the breeze was nice with the hatch open. I also like that Zappa kept us updated on a storm that was coming through on our last night there. It was really nice watching the lightning storm from the cabin, actually. I loved exploring in the kayaks. We saw a couple of iguanas in the mangroves and finally saw a manatee at the marina, though some of the people who live not too far from the boat saw several not long before we were there. They're out there! It just takes patience. This was definitely an experience for those with an adventurous spirit. We had a fantastic time both on the boat and exploring Key West. Thanks, Amber and Zappa!

ErinMay 2016

Zappa's sailboat is exactly how he describes it! you really need to like camping and adventures, but once you are on your way to the boat in the kayak you will understand that the magic atmosphere is worth a little bit of disconfort! we really enjoyed our staying, beautiful sunsets and peaceful paddleling. Zappa is really nice, kind and helpful!

agneseApril 2016

Zappa and Amber are the nicest hosts! They are so welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. They made sure we were happy and comfortable on the boat and told us about cool things to check out, all of which were great! The Ninja was as described... and better! Such an amazing experience! There is nothing like sleeping under the stars on the boat and then waking up to have the water right there to play in! It was an experience that we will remember forever. We will definitely try to come back again!

Stay in Key West the way the locals do- on the water and in a slip! With full electric & AC in the slip.
Our boat sleeps 4 adults very comfortably with spacious private living quarters.
Each bedroom features:
In-suite bathroom
Individual thermostat
TV
***** Please note: This is a boat and is similar to staying in an RV. It is VERY comfortable and features a quite spacious floor plan as boats go. BUT... BUT... it is not a 4 star hotel :-) Please know this when you book :-) Thank you.

Each Bedroom features a flat panel TV with an Apple TV box. Te Apple TV box allows you to access Netflix and other programming over the internet. The master bedroom also has a DVD player and a small inventory of DVD's
Our kitchen is small but has everything you'll need!
Refrigerator and Freezer, Coffee maker and coffee supplies, microwave and dishes and utensils to make a meal on board if you'd like.
The bathrooms on a boat are tight quarters and most guests use the marina bath houses for showers, but there's no need to leave the boat if you don't wish too.
Each main room - living room and two bedrooms have their own AC controls. please feel free to leave them run and cool the boat while you explore the islands.
You'll have the whole boat to enjoy for your stay. You are not permitted or able to run the boat as it will stay at the pier during your visit. We can set up a great sunset sail or day adventure if you'd like to get out on the water.
We will of course be able to assist you in any way needed. Our local guest host is also on hand if you need someone to stop over for any reason.

Cab, Taxi, scooter and golf cart rentals.
Parking n Key west is challenging and can be expensive if not researched.
Our boat is on Stock Island, one bridge north of Downtown Key West. Stock island is known for its local eats and a bit off the tourist path. A trip to downtown Key West to see the sights will require a car/taxi.

Awesome location with shuttle service into downtown Key West which was nice to get around without the hassle of the expensive parking. The marina was very nice, clean and we felt very safe staying on the boat. We enjoyed our time on the boat, only issue we had was with the air conditioner which ended up being a user error on my part, we got it straightened out for the 2nd night. Which made the boat nice and cool! So make sure that you pay attention when you first arrive for your walk through and ask any questions you may have!

DanaJuly 2016

I reserved the 38ft Chris craft for two nights. It is an older boat with character. The boat was clean and space was comfortable. The marina is safe, scenic with very nice neighbors. The beds in the boat were very comfy and shower worked great. The marina is in a great location to key west . The overall stay was very nice

MarionJuly 2016

Boat living is like camping...always an adventure!

VickiJuly 2016

It was a great experience! Jason ensured that we were well settled in and that all our questions were answered. The description was accurate and the neighborhood is quite peaceful. Parking wasn't a hassle either. In a nutshell, this gave us the opportunity to experience something unique and I'd definitely recommend this to friends.

SumitMay 2016

Best way to spend time in the keys. Just an awesome experience

MarkJuly 2016

Jason was a great host. The boat was just as described. Clean with plenty of room for sleeping and hanging out. The marina had great facilities and just a short taxi ride away from Duval street. Would definitely recommend staying here!

ZachNovember 2016

Although Jason himself was not present, he had arranged everything beforehand and his neighbor marina Chris was there to help us out. Chris was a wonderful host, explained everything clearly, gave us a lot of information on the surroundings, hotels, bars. Initially, our GPS misled us to a wrong place, Chris came out walking to guide us to the correct route. Awesome environment, very clean boat, nice place to chill and have fun.

DamayantiSeptember 2016

Jason was very quick to respond to all of my questions. The boat is a 38' cabin cruiser that can easily handle 4-6 adults. The beds are memory foamish and sleep great. Some things that we didn't know in the description, Jason has several items on the boat that he gives you access to such as two bicycles, two snorkeling sets, fishing poles, a grill on the rear of the boat, workout room access in the marina, a laundry room, a collection of books about Key West and cruising the Caribbean and a radio w/speakers throughout the boat. Previous guest have contributed to a "Bar" shelf (we added to it). The marina was immaculate, the other boats and yachts there were beautiful, and the few people that we met there were all very cordial. Stock Island is where many of the non-tourism businesses and people reside. It is much more industrial than Key West and looks the part. Having said that, when you go into the marina, you are going into what looks like a a travel brochure for the well heeled class. We really enjoyed Jason's recommendations on the restaurants where "the locals" eat. Key West is only bout a 5 minute car ride from the boat. Make it about 15 minutes by bike, at least to get on the island. The tourist areas are on the far end of the island so I wouldn't suggest walking it. In closing, let me say that we did a number of activities on our visit, and enjoyed all of them. Some of the activities were on the expensive side such as SUNBA (but worth t to us!) others were free. I think that one of the most enjoyable things we did was just to sit topside on the boat (in front of the windshield), watch the sunset as a thunderstorm developed over the Gulf of Mexico, enjoying a bottle of Prosecco while listening to Guantanamera on the radio! You may not go back home! Thanks Jason for sharing you boat with us! Chris and Lisa

Young couple who live in a 2-cabin sailboat in a Key West marina that's a local gem w/restaurant, parking, small pool, WiFi. The SECOND cabin is for rent & holds 2 people comfortably, but closely (1 small bed). Duval St. /tourism area is 5 miles away

KEY POINTS ABOUT THIS LISTING:
1. We live on the boat. The aft cabin is for rent, and we stay in the forward cabin. You are not renting the entire boat. I will apologize in advance for repeating this a bunch of times in the listing...
2. We have a sweet dog. He is VERY friendly and will plop down next to you and want you to pet him. He's doesn't lick, jump on people, or bark. He just wants to be petted all the time.
3. The bathroom/showers are not on the boat, but in the bathhouse in the marina. It isn't very far, but can be annoying in the middle of the night if you have to go since it involves walking further than you would in a home. *Note I am working on getting a compost toilet on the boat.
4. The boat is a live aboard, and at this time we aren't taking people sailing. Maybe in the future...
5. Cabin is comfortable for TWO people who don't mind sleeping very close. It's not big and bed has little headroom.
6. Yes, there is FREE parking at the restaurant but if the lot gets full you may have to park on the side street (also free).
7. Yes we have air conditioning! Woo hoo!!
8. We are five miles to Duval Street/Old Town (the main tourism center)).
9. Not a luxury boat. Getting on and off requires some ducking and walking across a small wooden plank to the shore. Most people have no issues with this but if you have any medical considerations (bad back etc...) that would make this difficult please reconsider.
10. We live on the boat.
Still interested??? OK...more info below:
The sailboat is almost 12 feet wide with six and a half foot headroom, allowing more space than similar boats this size. The cabin that is for rent (not the entire boat) is simply small bed with minimal storage space for luggage underneath- as is typical of sailboats. Boat cabins are not hotel rooms: ceilings are low and walls are angled. There is a large hatch and for ventilation, and several fans (and AC). We prefer two guests, but if you talk to us in advance it can be possible to arrange for more (but it gets a bit crowded). We've got a hammock up on deck as well for you to relax in, shaded by day, located on the ships bow. The marina is a local's place where some people have been living for 30 years. There are several artists, woodworkers, and creative people so needless to say it has character. It is a true Key West experience.
This is not a luxury ship but more of a chance to experience how the locals live. We have a small 3.5 Magic Chef refrigerator, a coffee pot, a 2'x1' stainless steel BBQ grill for out door cooking, and for indoor cooking we provide a single stainless steel electric burner and skillet, but no oven. We also have a sink on board with a water tap and plenty of available soap(s). Restrooms and showers are at the bathhouse at the end of the dock (three minute walk).
Please keep in mind that boats are tight quarters and it will rock a little. Most amenities are in the marina; the boat is simple but comfortable. Be aware we live aboard so you are just renting a cabin; not the entire boat (sorry for repeating this again and again but we still have people misunderstanding it).
We will try and help you as much as possible to make your stay in Key West a wonderful experience.
Also (Guests with allergies): Gatito, the dog (Golden Retriever) lives on board too and he is an adorable sweetheart and is a Registered Service Animal (ESA). We vacuum frequently and he stays out of the guest room (unless there is a thunderstorm he might hide under your bed).
There is always a chance of wind or rain in which case guests may notice the boat rocking more. Still, we aren't in the open ocean so there aren't any large waves.
We are currently accepting reservations through June 2016.
The marina features: laundry services, a small swimming pool, bath house with showers, free WiFi access and one of the best waterfront restaurants on the island with FRESH, local seafood and killer drinks.
The marina is a hidden gem with swaying coconut trees, banana trees, great sunset views, and is one of the last authentic Key West marinas in the area. The others are all putting fancy hotels in and catering to the yachts, but this one stays true to its roots. We have dive boats, fishing boats, and other excursions leaving RIGHT from the marina so you can book some excursions from here. Guests are free to explore as they like - very low key.
Newly remodeled bathhouse/shower area (single stall/Individual showers). They just finished updating them in April 2016 so they look great!
We also have a kayak (s) you can take out for a spin. We always have at least one, but more are available on occasion.
We both work but are early risers :) expect coffee in the morning and depending on schedules, we try to offer breakfast when we can.
We respect if you want your space, or we can also show you some sights if time permits. Zappa is a musician and plays around town at bars and restaurants. Amber is a hostess and travel writer. If you want t...

Beautiful marina in Key West (Stock Island) with a famous restaurant IN the marina. The heart of downtown (Duval Street/Old Town), is about 4-5 miles away, to the historical schooner seaport for day cruises or a romantic sun set cruising experience :)
The neighborhood is mostly residential, but of the restaurants and bars we do have, they are AMAZING and NOT overpriced tourism traps. We love De Luna's cafe for affordable Cuban sandwiches and breakfast items, Shrimp Rd. Bar and Grill with hammock swings and live music on weekends, and Roostica pizzeria for wood fired pizza. The botanical garden is nearby as is Kayak Kings Key West for a mangrove maze tour.
We are in Stock Island about 5 miles to Old Town/Duval Street. From there you can walk everywhere. Your best bet when staying here is a car or scooter. The bus stop is a little bit of a hike and doesn't run that frequently or late.
Bike rentals are $10 per day from We Cycle. Bikes are a major form of transportation in Key West and is a great way to get around. They will drop them off at the marina.
Greyhound buses run to Key West from Miami and Fort Lauderdale for around $25 one way (when booked in advance).
We are only about 3 miles from the airport.
Parking is in the spaces in front of the restaurant or if that is full on the side street. No charge. We will give you a sign for your car.
Tell us when you arrive and don't wander around the marina asking for Airbnb.
Try and give us a ballpark time of your arrival so we can arrange to meet you and please update us if it changes (a quick text will suffice). IT TAKES LONGER TO GET HERE THAN (g00gle) SAYS (unless you are coming in the middle of the night). Average drives from Miami are 4 to 5 hours NOT 3.5 as it estimates. Weekends and holidays will see more traffic.
We will try our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but we both work other jobs as well.
While we welcome people of all ages and backgrounds with an adventurous spirit.
Please note that there are a few things to consider for elderly or younger guests. There is no restroom on the boat, so if you need to use the facilities in the middle of the night, it involves walking up steep stairs, stepping off the boat onto a dimly lit dock, and walking to the bath house. If you use the restroom frequently or have limited mobility this may not be the most convenient choice.
There is also a plank you must walk (ARRRR maties!). No really, to get on and off the boat there is a platform. This may be difficult for elderly people.
Reminder: We also stay on the boat in the V Berth, so you are not renting an entire boat...just the extra cabin.
There are steep stairs/ladder so it is not a good option for those with limited mobility. If you are a sleepwalker marinas aren't the best place.
Lastly, (another reminder): You are on a boat and the cabin does not have the same amount of space you would expect of a hotel room. The cabin wall is nicely curbed design to allow the proper amount of room for two adults who don't mind sleeping close. It is large enough to sleep in and store two medium luggage bags beneath, but excessive luggage will have to be kept on other parts of the ship or in your vehicle (if you have one).
HOT TIP: For those driving in from Miami, I highly HIGHLY recommend saying at Everglades hostel for a night or two and doing some hiking in the everglades, see some alligators, etc. It is a really peaceful, special hostel (very, very laidback) with a waterfall, treehouse, etc.. - a hidden gem! Be

It was an amazing first time experience using AirBnb. Amber and Zacc really were awesome host. Not to forget there awesome dog name gatito. They really want out there way to help make us feel at home. Although we stay one night, it felt like we had know them for years. They gave us a broad over view of the place, the island and things to do. I would highly recommend this place if you like to have and awesome experience. Thank you very much Amber & Zacc.

Jose ChrisSeptember 2015

I had an awesome experience on Amber's boat. She was great - friendly, helpful, and Gatito the dog is pretty much the best. This was my first time in Key West and I wouldn't have done it any other way. The people in the Marina are warm and welcoming, and the facilities are clean and convenient (living room, showers, bathrooms). Amber knows a ton about the area and is very resourceful in terms of suggestions for activities, local food spots, bars, etc. I can't wait to go back!

We had such a wonderful time staying with Amber, Zappa and Gatito! Amber greeted us right on time getting us set up on the sailboat, gave us a tour and all the codes we would need for our stay. She was super knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations of where to eat and things to do. We actually got engaged while we were down there in Key West, and after we told her she went out and got us a bottle of champagne and a sweet card! She even cooked for us our last night! The bed had plenty of space for two people to sleep comfortably. Highly highly HIGHLY recommended!

ErikaOctober 2015

What an experience! Amber, Zappa and Gatito were amazing hosts and overall amazing people and 4 legged friend!!! Since day one Amber welcomed us with open arms and made great recommendations of places to visit around the island. The boat is amazing; homie, cool, and comfortable! The marina is super clean and quiet... The neighbors were all very friendly! Highly recommend this one of a kind experience!

DanielaJuly 2015

We stayed with Zappa and gatito (amber was out of town) and we had a great stay! Zappa was incredibly friendly and accommodating! And gatito was such a sweet dog! It was a really cool experience and alternative to a hotel. Definitely would recommend to others!!

SummerMarch 2016

Amber, Zappa and Tito are the best. they are warm and friendly and they totally made us feel at home. the best part of the trip was going to a very special swimming spot. I would stay with them any day. thank you so much.

Very Comfortable Private Master Bedroom with Comfort Kingsize bed with views of water in 3 directions Master Full Bathroom adjacent Old Key West Style Marina small pool Wireless Internet 2 min walk World Famous "Hogfish" bar/restaurant

Very comfortable, All normal amenities, boat has windows on both sides so a lot of water views of harbor. There is a walking over plank from dock to boat that changes height depending on tides can be a big lean up or down and no wheelchair access. We have lived happily and comfortable on this boat for 2.5 years and Love it!
Check in is at 4 pm .. Unless you made prior arrangements with me. We are not a 24/7 Hotel Concierge .. as much as we like to be Hospitable and help our guests, we value our time as well and have busy lives. :)
Access to Living room, Master Bed and Bathroom, 1st and 2nd outside decks, Chase lounges
I will be available if there are any questions .. I am around during day and child is in school. We will be sharing living room during evenings. Bedtime for child is 8:30 pm and we wake up at 6:30 am. We will be in front of boat, which is separate from back of boat where guests stay:)

Old Style Key West .. there is the Famous "Hogfish" bar and restaurant less than 2 min walk from boat. Beautiful views in and around marina .. nice for evening walks. Very quiet surroundings at night.
There are public buses nearby that get you anywhere pretty much, local scooter, golf cart and car rentals as well. Check out Sunshine Scooters, they have all 3 types, ask for John and tell him James sent you. John used to own our Boat. :))
This is a boat ... so things need to be treated respectfully.
TOILETS: NO PAPER DOWN TOILETS .. THERE IS A BIN NEXT TO TOILET FOR THAT. Beautiful walking around marina. World Famous "HogFish" restaurant is less than 2 minute walk from boat .. (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) it :-). Gorgeous Views ... Paddle Board is being fixed.

James went out of his way to make my stay in Key West a fantastic experience! A yummy roasted chicken dinner, friendly conversation, comfy sleep set-up, morning sunrise coffee & breakfast on the deck, he catered to my Yorkie as well! James made it easy to book, find the boat and was very attentive. We will be back for more time in paradise :) Thanks for sharing your boat with us!!

We had a great night at James' yacht. It was super clean and had everything we need to make our stay comfortable. James was very helpful and made arrangements to accommodate us even though he has an appointment that day. Thank you James, hope to meet you next time!

James is great and though all we were looking for was a bed for the night and didn't stay around long enough to try coffee or anything. The view from our room before sunrise was probably the best on our vacation. Location location location quiet spot good amenities what more can you ask for.

JamesApril 2016

James was an excellent host. Kept in contact while we were driving from Miami to make sure we were ok. The boat is in a lovely spot right next to the Hogfish Restaurant so could sit back and relax with great food. James was extremely welcoming and the amenities were very clean and comfortable (bed was super comfortable ..... We slept for 10 hours that night!!!!). Lovely French pressed coffee for us in the morning. Two very playful cats on bard which we loved but if you are allergic to cats then not suitable for you.

Myself and my 11 year old son stay with James and his daughter for 3 nights on their boat and it definitely added to the Key West experience. We came to Key West for my son to go snorkeling for the first time and it was great! The room was exactly as the pictures showed, bed was really comfortable and it was nice to have the a/c right in the room, made for very comfortable sleeps. James and his daughter were friendly and very personal, great people and I highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Key West!

PhilJuly 2016

James and his daughter Billy were so sweet and welcoming. They explained everything very clearly during our arrival. Staying on a yacht on the water was a great experience in itself, but, our hosts added to the experience. James went out of his way to make us feel at home and to make sure we had a great time during our vacation. He invited us to join his friend and daughter on a boat ride. It was so much fun! It was very nice of them. Thanks for going the extra mile. Would definitely stay with James and Billy again and reccommend to others as well.

DaniellaJuly 2016

James and his daughter Billie are wonderful people and their two cats Sylvester and Twilight are the sweetest pets. James and Billie are very nice and funny and like to hang out for a good chat. Everything was prepared very well for us. Staying on their boat was our first "house-boat" experience and - we have to admit - we've caught the boat fever since. The room is in the back of the boat with windows facing into three directions, allowing for a beautiful view into the harbor. Especially in the early morning hours, when the sun rises, this is amazing. The room is very cosy and gives you all the comfort of a room on land, but with the extra specialty of the light sway from the waves, making you sleep like a baby. The room and the private bathroom next door offer all the privacy you could ask for. The neighborhood is save and quiet. The "Hogfish Bar" right in front of the boat offers amazing food including a lot of nice seafood dishes. Key West with all its sights, restaurants and bars is only 15 minutes by car. We would highly recommend staying with James and Billie to everyone who seeks a wonderful and special Airbnb experience.

MariaJuly 2016

Two thumbs up to this booking! We had a wonderful time staying on this comfortable boat. It is located in a very eclectic little marina full of fascinating locals (make sure to ask your lovely hostess Billie for the deluxe marina tour). The bed was big and comfortable (sleep number) and we wished we would have been able to stay longer. It is easy to find and located next to an outstanding restaurant: Hogfish Bar & Grill. Highly recommend the seared Ahi and Hogfish salad. Yum! The accommodations were lovely (who can beat staying on a houseboat with water views) but the highlight of our stay was meeting James and Billie. The atmosphere was closer to staying with wonderful friends than Air B & B. We will definitely book this again. Thank you for a wonderful stay James & Billie.

Friendly host. Cute and quaint home

DanyApril 2016

The place was nice and we were warmly welcomed. We also got quite a lot information about Key West and a map. The room had good air-conditioning. There was parking space near the house.

HeidiJune 2016

Rename greeted us at her gate and escorted us to the private entrance of the room. She showed us how the room operated and answered all our questions in a very friendly and comfortable manner. The room and private bath were just as described and were nicely decorated, private, and comfortable with a nice king bed with soft sheets. The neighborhood felt safe as we returned after dark from dinner in Key West, a short and easy drive away. A short call to Rejane in the morning greatly facilitated our checkout and getaway. We'll try to return soon.

this is an wonderful experience and Rejane is very nice,I like there if I would come back I will still choose her place,it's quiet and clean the water system is in good condition. thank you all.

ChangDecember 2014

Rejane's room for rent in Key West was great. Very clean, private (the room had a separate entrance to the main house), very spacious and had everything we needed. Rejane was a very friendly and considerate host. We would most certainly stay here again!

HugoMarch 2014

It was sweet and simple. Place was neat and clean. I would recommend everyone staying here.

Our stay with Chester on his Catamaran was incredible. Nothing I could have imagined could possibly have come even close to the awesomeness of being hosted by Straycat sailing adventures. Everything promised by the listing was delivered and more. Chester and TC went out their way to make my wife and myself feel at home and are the coolest people you will meet in Key West!!!!

WarrenNovember 2015

If you want an experience that makes you remember Key West, forget hotels and book with Chester. We stayed on the boat with 3 other couples and it felt like staying with a large family where all participated in making it a lovely time for all. Chester is an entertainer, captain and friend and we will surely be back again.

KritteFebruary 2016

Chester is a jewel. Not only is he an accomplished and experienced sea captain, he is also a talented musician and storyteller, a wonderful teacher and a thoughtful host. We had a great time, a very memorable sail and a fun experience. Highly recommend!

DevonJanuary 2016

This is my first time going thru Airbnb and I'm glad I went with chester. The whole trip on board his boat was just priceless. He's an awesome captian and such a down to earth person. I'm def coming back. Loved the morning coffee.

RahulNovember 2015

Hi Chester, this is Mario from Colombia. Thank you for a wonderful time in your boat, the sail and sunset was pretty cool. And your company and kindness was really nice.

Off the beaten path, we are a hidden gem of sorts tucked between local campgrounds and shrimp docks. The atmosphere is laid-back and the ambiance is often described as a colorful and reminiscent of the less touristic "Old Key West" of the 1960s with fishing boats and artisans working from waterfront cottages along the docks.
The marina is also home to the Hogfish Bar and Grill, a hotspot for locals who come here for the fabulous fresh seafood and live music. The community here is very welcoming with artsy types and fishing fanatics open and welcome to all.
If you are looking for a high-end resort you may want to look elsewhere, but if you're interested in kicking back and relaxing with some locals this is the spot for you!

A wonderful stay with Chester and Straycat. The boat was clean and neat. Six of us stayed in 4 bedrooms pretty well. We enjoyed the sunset sailing with Chester and also fall in love with his songs and guitar playing. At night, the boat parked in Safe Harbor, where is clean, quite and easy to get to. There is a Bar and grill right next to it, which serve delicious cuban style food along with Jamaican band. All in all, it was a great experience at Florida keys. I would love to rent the boat for a longer time in future, maybe a trip to Dry Tortugas.

BoyuanAugust 2016

Chester was a great host! He sailed around Key West and then gave us a personal tour of the town. It was a great experience! Thanks

BradMay 2016

Holy shit. Seriously one of the best decisions I've ever made renting the whole boat for a bachelor party. It was a amazing trip and there's literally no one more suited for the occasion. This was my second time staying on the stray cats a although my last experience was great as well. This one really can't be beat. The boat was in great condition and the ac cranks while in port. The Beds are very comfortable and there's plenty of space to put your things and stretch out. I HIGHLY recommend not only staying on the stray cat but chartering the boat. You will not be disappointed.

I have a cozy, 30-foot air conditioned sailboat in a marina near an excellent seafood restaurant. This is not luxury. This is a true, authentic "sailors" boat ideal for friends or couples. Perfect for budget travelers. It is 5 miles from the Duval Street/Main tourism area. See a different side of Key West! The boat consists of one room (studio) so you must be comfortable in small spaces together. Essentially, it's a place to crash. Must be physically able to move around the boat.

There are two single berths, (essentially two skinny twin beds), however one is a "double" (which can fit two people VERY close..so good for couples that's about it. ) SAME ROOM.
2. The bathroom is not on the boat, but a few steps away.
3. There is a plank you need to cross to get to the boat over water. If you are injured or cannot physically do this, don't stay. There are steep stairs you must go down.
4. The marina is VERY casual, true Key West - the old Key West. Not the fancy yacht scene that is cropping up in Old Town and elsewhere. We are a bit more free spirited here.
5. Great restaurant and free parking on the property.
6. Air Con and a small pool availabl.
7. no frills - it's more like camping.
8. What you see in the photos is pretty much it - one tiny room, and a sitting area outside. It's a boat.
9. The tourism area is 5 miles, so you'll likely want a car.
You have the entire boat, and have access to the small pool and bathhouse.
Either myself or one of my friends will get you checked in, but the boat is yours for a few days.

Most attractions are in Old town we are residential however plenty of dive boats, fishing charters kayaking etc..near here.
You'll need a car.
There's not much public transport here, so you'll need a car. You must feel comfortable with motion - the boat will rock slightly, more during winds. Not everyday is beautiful.

Our newly renovated 45 ft long houseboat is very spacious and filled with character every step of the way. Its a great place to get away from it all. Located at the top of the island in a small quite marina. Enjoy views of the water from bed every morning.

Staying on the water
There is a full kitchen and full bathroom on board. As well as laundry located on shore.
We will be there at check-in to show you where everything is located. If available we will pick you up from the airport as well. We will see you at check-out. Unless we are needed you will have the place all to yourself.

The dock is filled with very pleasant, hard working people.
There is plenty of street parking. Bikes can also be provided upon request.

the host is very nice and helpful. the boat house is very cute and quite. i wish i can go there again.

Brian is a great host

KimSeptember 2016

Brian's houseboat was cool, comfortable, clean and well equipped with several great "extras". Brian was not in town, but was always available by text/phone and made sure that we were well taken care of. The Hogfish Grill and Bar nearby was a highlight of our trip dining experiences. It is a bit "out of town" and the neighborhood would not be easily confused with Palm Beach Island, but it was a quiet retreat from the noisy hubbub of Mallory Square and Duval Street.

TomAugust 2016

Thank you to Brooke and Brian! We loved our stay on the boat. We were met at the boat with a warm welcome! Brooke showed us around and provided us with some special treats for our stay. We were very comfortable in our own little space! Our favorite part was spending mornings with our coffee on the deck and evenings underneath the beautiful stars!! We loved the quiet neighborhood and we felt safe in our surroundings. Brooke and Brian were available for us to answer any questions we may have. Thank you both again! We hope to make this an annual trip and look forward to staying on the boat again if we do! :). Sincerely, Stacy

StacyOctober 2016

Brian and Brooke have a great place! We were met at the boat right as we pulled up in the truck. Beautiful boat in a beautiful spot. It was awesome waking up each morning and looking out the window over the bed and seeing the mangroves and the tides coming in. They were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. It was very nice to get to a quiet spot but being so close to the party that is Key West. We really loved the decor inside, it was very unique and didn't feel like we were on a boat. It felt more like an escape!

Brian was so accommodating , let us check in early, offered his bikes to us, will be booking again in the future :)

AlyssaNovember 2016

This place is beautiful. The accommodations were perfect. The bed was super comfy. The shower was small but perfect for a cooling shower. We felt like we were home. The neighbors were great. The harbor was extremely quite. Looking over the side of the boat seeing the different types of fish was great and inspirational. Perfect for a couples getaway.

It's a sailboat! 26ft long with standing headroom. She has no running water and is powered by the sun and wind.
There are two slim twin beds, two can fit into one, or you can split up. One can fold up and the space transforms into a table and two benches.
There is a small kitchen area with a butane burner stove. a small pot and pan are provided, as well as some utensils. The burner can easily be moved outside to cook under the stars.
The V Berth is mostly for clothing and luggage storage. You have some hangars and a small closet if you like to "unpack."
There is not a traditional marine head, but a compost toilet. If the thought of this makes you uncomforatble or grossed out, this may not be the rental for you. It is very simple to use and smells like pine instead of sewage (marine head smell). Instructions will be provided.
You shower outside in the cockpit, again, if this makes you uncomfortable, maybe its not for you. It is a lot like camping and a lot of fun!
This is an accommodation rental, not a charter, so you can not sail or motor anywhere. You will have full use of the kayak with your deposit, as long as you keep it locked and respect it. (they are not cheap) , there will be no issues and you can get your deposit back. I also have a bicycle available to rent daily, hopefully I will be getting another one soon.
I work and go to school, but I will make myself available as much as I can. That being said, you are pretty much on your own unless something major happens and you really need my help.

This is a boat AT ANCHOR so it moves with the tides and waves. It is in a protected bay but you will still feel movement. If you are very sensitive to movement or sea sickness maybe this is not for you.
When there is a lot of wind, kayaking can take a little longer and require more effort. You should be in reasonable shape and not have any injuries. You will get wet sitting in the kayak.
To get into and out of the boat also requires balance and hoisting yourself up, please be in reasonable shape. Please also understand that this lifestyle will aquire you some bumps and bruises. Can you dig it?

If you read nothing else of this review, make sure you read Lilly's full description. It is perfectly accurate and luckily we are the adventurous type as we just scanned it and had a few surprises checking in. Kayaking to and from the boat was fun and made it feel like the most exclusive place to stay on Key West. If you are adventurous and up for a new expereince this place is great, if you are looking for a cheap place to stay and expect a "hotel" style room and service on the cheap, this is not for you. This is basically a camp site on the water. Wake up jump in the water for a swim and then have a shower on the deck. Evenings with views of the bay and a bottle of wine are perfect. Long story short we had a blast and would definitely stay again.

Topher November 2016

Lilly was great! She met us at the point and time agreed upon and was very responsive. She lives in the boat over, with a few other boats around. The description was mostly accurate, but it was less private than expected with the other boats, which made showering in our bathing suits interesting, but successful. Lilly let us use her bike to ride to downtown, which we found out is a great way to get around the key. Also, the bathrooms in the hotel across the street are a lifesaver if you don't feel comfortable with the compost toilet. Overall for the price, it was a great stay, and was definitely more like camping than a hotel. We would recommend this to other adventurous travelers.

Looking for the perfect AFFORDABLE hide-away in Key West? Located in a remodeled Victorian Home - this guest room is just perfect for two!

This guest room is cozy (the size of a small hotel room, 10'X12.5') with a QUEEN size bed but is so much better than a hotel room. We provide high quality egyptian cotton sheets and thick, luxurious towels. Your private bath has been newly remodeled. And a studio kitchen with apartment sized fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, two burner induction cook top,, and everything you'll need to cook and serve a romantic meal. It is nice to be able to make a sandwich or picnic to take to the beach! There is a wonderful table just out the back door if you would like to eat under the palm trees.
Don't want to cook???
No need really - just a block and a half is Duval Street where hundreds of bars & restaurants await your fun times. The beach is a five minute walk and there you can enjoy the gorgeous warm turquoise water ALL YEAR ROUND. Just relax on the pristine white sand under the tall swaying palms. When you get too hot - simply stroll back to your air conditioned hide-away.
The bed faces 55' flat screen TV. The gorgeous Victorian Home which is now divided into individually owned rooms - is an architectural masterpiece... but unlike many bed and breakfasts, walls are thick and your privacy is insured. The neighborhood is a wonderful mix of guest houses, full time local folks, and visitors. While you are walking the streets - stop and chat a spell with anybody who is rocking on their front porch. You might meet some real Key West characters! Our location is so close to Duval (a five minute walk - it will be a great place to gather with friends to head 'downtown.'
OUTSIDE There is a wonderful back deck with lovely shaded eating area, another picnic table under the huge Banyan tree, and lots of lounge chairs to lay in the sun. These are all within the fenced yard of the property. It really is amazing to find this quiet seclusion right off of the excitement of Duval Street!
You will find coupons and local discounts to many attractions, restaurants and bars. What type of coupons? Discounts on drinks, discounts and specials on water sports including sunset sails, discounts on glass bottom boat rides, 50% off a local Scavenger Hunt and free passes to a cabaret drag show. The coupons and vouchers will vary but I put together a packet of fun coupons so that you can come down and enjoy yourself instead of spending part of your vacation looking for discounts!
We want to provide an affordable solution to the high prices of Key West Hotels - and we think this is it! If you are looking for a full service hotel this is not for you. My studio is best for folks that want to see Key West, not stay in their room during their vacation. While it is quite small, it is one of the best values in Key West. We don't pretend to be a full resort, we are a great option for those that are looking for value and a clean well appointed room! WE GUARANTEE YOUR UNIT WILL BE SPARKLING CLEAN UPON YOUR ARRIVAL. So come on down to the Southernmost City and have some fun!
Two bikes are provided for your use at no extra charge. They are right on property with the number 8 (our apartment number) on each bike. You will be able to ride to beaches, parks, botanical gardens and of course, bars, restaurants and sunsets!!
Parking is right in front of the property on first come first serve basis and there is a plentiful street parking in very close vicinity.
Your can rent nightly or weekly!!!
KeyPad codes will be provided 7 days prior and phone number will be available to you if needed.
Please contact us a week before for all the access codes.

And you will enjoy our 'Favorites' book which has all of the menus of our favorite restaurants, ideas for day trips, the best attractions and some coupons you will love. We live here and if you have ANY questions - PLEASE call and ask...we know ALL of the LOCAL HOTSPOTS.

The listing was as shown and unlike other reviews I didn't notice a mildew smell at all. The space was very clean and cozy. We did not meet Marcel, but all necessary info was provided before our trip and it was very easy to find. I actually preferred the privacy. The place is definitely small and the shower tiny, but has everything you need to be comfortable and even cook if you'd like (there was a fully stocked kitchenette). The location was wonderful. Close enough to walk/bike to anything in downtown Key West (and 2 bikes are provided)!! The only downside could be that no bathroom toiletries were provided like many other Air Bnbs in this price range (shampoo, body wash, lotion, etc), but for me this wasn't a bid deal. Everything else was great and I would definitely recommend.

AndreaSeptember 2016

Apartment was adorable! Perfect for the occasion and a great location. Marcel was great, very helpful and super accommodating. Loved it!

SarahFebruary 2016

The room is tiny but has everything. The efficiency in use of space is amazing. Marcel is very responsive and replies to questions very fast. The location is very convenient, within walking distance to Duval and southernmost point, especially with the bikes provided. Parking is easy to find near the home. Overall it's a great place to stay.

XiaoyuJanuary 2016

Great location in Key West. A short walk to Southernmost Point and less than a mile to Mallory Square. The room was well-appointed and just right for us. Would definitely recommend to a single or couple traveling to Key West.

ChrisMarch 2016

Marcel's Apt was cozy and comfortable and was suited with everything you need. It was very clean and Marcel was available for any questions and problems you might encounter. The apt was located within walking distance to the southernmost point in key west. We can definitely recommend a stay if you plan to go to key west.

ThomasMarch 2016

Clean and compact space with all the necessary amenities. Marcel was extremely helpful with all of our questions. Having the bikes available to us made the whole key easily accessible.

RebeccaFebruary 2016

The listing description was accurate and the place seemed clean when we got there. The location is ok, parking was easy and access was easy and as promised. We did use the bikes, though they did not have working brakes and I wish they did, we would have liked to use them again. I can't say I would stay here again. It smelled very musty (like an old basement), the source of which was the bathroom. It permeated everything. I know this is Florida and keeping moisture out can be tough, but this was a level above and hard to get past, as the space is so small. I'm not complaining about the space, it would otherwise be fine. The linens on the bed were okay, but the mattress seemed of a lower quality or older than similar Airbnb listings at which I've stayed and didn't give a good night's sleep. Finally, again yes I know it's Florida but we did have a cockroach on the bed the last night (no food or garbage was left out), not super restful and it led to a 3:45am departure. Note: I don't want to kill Marcel's business but the place does need to have the source of the musty smell addressed and likely some exterminator work done.

A luxury townhouse with a private elevator to the first floor where your room is located. Queen bunk beds, large balcony and an en-suite bathroom await you. THIS LOCATION REQUIRES TRANSPORTION, we are located out by the airport, 15 mins from Downtown.

Bright and airy bedroom with queen bunk beds (BeautyRest mattresses and box springs) and a private balcony without onlookers except the birds!
You will have access to entry and first levels of this home.
I live here and work here on the top level of the home. Mason and I usually form the Greeting Committee upon your arrival.

Gated Community by Key West International Airport. To stay at this location you may want to consider a vehicle of some sort. My favorite is a scooter, but one has to watch for getting too much sun on one.
Parking is complimentary. Bus service in KW is good and reliable, it's easy to bring a bike on the bus. Normally one cannot walk downtown from this location, biking is fine for fit individuals, it is a 2 mile by 4 mile island.
Very nice lanai garden area and a full sized washer dryer (please ask instructions)

Michael's House is very comfortable, high end and clean. He is very welcoming and offered the insides to experience the key west. A very nice bike ride of about 20 minutes can take you to the happening area of Duval st. I highly recommend to stay with Michael if you are visiting Key West.

LeydaJune 2016

Michael was a very welcoming and friendly host who made sure that the room was comfortable and that I had everything I needed. He even went above and beyond my expectations by offering a fan for white noise to help me sleep and ensured that the temperature was cool enough. The private walk-up entrance also made me feel comfortable as someone who never entertained the idea of renting a room before. The bedroom and attached bathroom were more clean than one might expect a hotel to be. The location is beautiful, with a relaxing, private balcony off of the bedroom with a view of a lush mangrove. I enjoyed the quiet area with a 30-minute ride down the bike path from the apartment, along the water, a beach, and ultimately Duval street. I am already looking forward to my next stay, and highly recommend to other guests.

JasonApril 2016

Michael met myself and my friend out front of his place and gave a very warm and welcoming hello, after exchanging handshakes upstair we went where the room was exactly as described in the listing, luxury doesn't do it justice, everything is modern and up to date, Very clean room with bunk beds, dresser, walk in closet, desk and plenty of lighting. Also the private balcony was great to enjoy a cold beverage after a hot day. Michael was able to answer any and all questions about where to go and places to visit and started every morning with a "good morning how the hell are ya", great first experience using Airbnb and I will definitely be back here someday.

AnthonyMay 2016

Host made me feel very welcome, and went the extra mile to show me the neighbourhood of Key West, and to pick me up late at night after I'd done some sightseeing.

StephenMarch 2016

Mike was a very kind and generous host, I honestly felt like I lived there after only two days. If I ever go back, I'm definitely staying there.

SkylarMarch 2016

This was my first time to Key West and Michael made me feel right at home. I arrived at 8:30pm and he had no issue taking me in at this time, his instructions for arrival were very clear, and finding the townhome was easy since it's right off Roosevelt Blvd (~5m from the airport). Michael had no problem with me coming and going early in the mornings and late in the evenings, which was convenient.

SeanAugust 2016

Michael’s place is wonderful, it was so fun meeting him and Mason when I arrived! I stayed at a few different places while I was in Key West, and this was definitely my favorite – clean, comfortable and luxuriously appointed as described (so much nicer than the hotel I stayed in my first night). I loved the fluffy towels, comfy bed and bedding, great bathroom, lovely lighting, and private balcony looking out into the tropical foliage. I slept so well here! Coming and going was really simple and easy. I was traveling alone and was always comfortable staying here. In the past I have always booked entire homes, but the on arrival tour and personal touches here made me really appreciate having a host. I would be happy to stay at Michael's place again.

This was my first Airbnb experience. And if they're all like this I will always Airbnb. Michael was the perfect host. Extremely generous and knowledgable about the area. Recommended some great spots to check out! The bed was very comfortable! Room, bathroom and living area were very clean and up to date. I would HIGHLY recommend Michael to any future airbnb'ers. Top notch! If I'm ever back in the area I will definitely try and get this room.

I have a personal Concierge that will assist you with all your Land and Sea Activities and Recommend the Best Restaurants Paradise has to offer.

We felt very welcomed and accommodated by Frankie. Our room was clean and it was nice to have our own bathroom. We didn't really spend much time there as the rest of our family was in Key West proper and we joined them for the most part. The view from the room was of a sports field (no water view), but like I said, we didn't spend much time there, so that didn't bother us.

We felt very welcomed. Frankie waited for us and had everything ready for our late arrival. Parking was available and our car was safe.

Frankie and Louie, Thanks for everything! We had an awesome time in Key West and your place was cool. Whenever I am returning to Key West, your's is the place that I will be looking forward to.

The emails we received and our host meeting us at the door made us feel welcome. We were a bit surprised that it was an apartment (this is our first airbnb experience), but everything was great. We were asked if we needed any help with excursions or outings. Louie gave us great advice on a place to eat and explore in Key West.

My host was amazing. He text me throughout the week before my arrival, when I arrived, and checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean and efficient. We did not need to any extras. He made sure everything was there for us.

RebeccaMay 2016

Had a fabulous time. House was beautiful, great location and a gorgeous pool area. Nice and quiet.

Roy made us feel right at home, even though we didn't need him for much. I thought I left a bag at the apartment and his friend went right over within minutes to check it for me...We didn't get the chance to use the pool as we were busy on our 3 days there doing other things. The apartment was amazing and had a home feel. Roy provided everything you could think of in an apartment as if you actually lived there.

The name says it all. Casa Paradiso is indeed that, a home in paradise. It's location was perfect for us, a very quiet, gated community just a couple miles away from all of the "action". The home was immaculate, well cleaned, and well stocked with anything a family would need to enjoy the stay. Roy was a fantastic host, he kept up with me the weeks leading up to the stay, which really got me excited about staying. check/in/out was smooth sailing. Casa Paradiso is a 5 star home with a 5 star host. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for the "local" key west experience without being completely submerged in all of the touristy aspects of the city

This was my first time using Airbnb, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The listing was exactly like the pictures... clean, nicely decorated, and the location was ideal. Roy was in contact with us throughout the process, making sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend this rental and will certainly rent again if I'm ever in Key West!

SherriJune 2016

Right from the start the accessibility to enter the apartment was well organized. To be able walk into the apartment and not worry about collecting items such as linen, cutlery, kitchen utensils, etc. It made our lives very simple and hassle free. The facilities in the rooms were all excellent. The location was easy accessible of the area of Key West. The service from Roy was outstanding, nothing seemed to be of trouble to him.

The boat is anchored just a short dinghy ride from the dock, just a few blocks from Duval St and the core of downtown Key West. A welcoming Painkiller (orange, pineapple, coconut, nutmeg and RUM) and a hearty breakfast with fresh coffee is included each day. Sail to a reef for great snorkeling (optional), swim or fish from the boat, sunbathe on the foredeck, or explore downtown Key West. Whatever you do during the day, you'll sleep like a baby with the gentle rocking of the boat at night.

6'-6" headroom and a 13'x14' main salon make this boat feel much larger than expected. Light, airy, and clean inside and out, you will relax into the boating lifestyle very quickly. Sailing trips for superb snorkeling, sunset cocktails or adventurous overnights at outlying island parks are optional at additional cost. Ask about day sails and overnight adventure trips to Cuba and the Dry Tortugas.
You'll have full use of the galley with refrigeration and small freezer, gas 3-burner stove, microwave, double stainless sink and pressure hot and cold fresh potable water. There's a 23" HD TV, (limited to 3 hrs/day) with DVD player and an amplified antenna that picks up over a dozen digital channels, and a CD/AM/FM/mp3 stereo. A large, private and comfortable head (bathroom) is attached to your stateroom and has ample counter space and storage for your personal effects. The bed is large and comfortable, but the stateroom is small with low overhead and a very small place to stand. You will be mostly sitting or reclining while here. If you like to wander and stretch, plan on using the decks and the main salon.
I'm self employed, semi-retired and living aboard so I can adjust my schedule to accommodate yours. Although hosting with Airbnb is new to me, I have been a professional charter captain since 1990 and love to share the experience of sailing. I can take you for a sunset sail or an overnight adventure. Ask about day sails, snorkel trips, and overnight adventures to the Dry Tortugas and Cuba. I can teach you to sail, let you take control, or just get out of your way at anchor to provide you quiet privacy. Just let me know what you want and I'll do my best to accommodate.

Key West is a cross between Newport and Bourbon Street, with more restaurants, bars, museums, and shopping than you can fully enjoy in a lifetime. Surrounded by clear water and deserted island parks, there is much to explore by boat as well. I have two scuba setups, snorkel gear and a fishing pole available for your use (extra charge for the scuba gear). I can provide a unique sailing adventure tailored to you, just ask for details.
I include a round trip dinghy ride into town once per day, between the hours of 9am and 10pm. With a little advance planning I can accommodate more trips and after hours for a reasonable additional charge to cover cost of fuel, wear, and time. Duval St is just a couple of blocks from the dinghy dock, and all of downtown is easily accessible by foot. Rental vehicles and bicycles are available in town.
Sailing is a sport, moderate physical agility is a must. The boat is anchored in a protected harbor and is well ventilated with lots of hatches and portlights, but if you're prone to motion sickness be sure take Dramamine an hour before boarding. If you're just looking for a cheap place to crash this may not be for you, but if you want a truly unique experience and are at all adventurous this will be the trip of a lifetime.
